UGREEN 50634 Cat7 Shielded RJ45 Modular Plugs, 10-Pack

Overview

The UGREEN 50634 is a pack of ten shielded Cat7 RJ45 plugs for making shielded network cables to length for fast wired links. Each two-piece plug has a copper-shielded casing, a separate cable clip and gold-plated three-prong pins, and is crimped onto four-pair Cat7 FTP cable for links up to 10 Gbps on a compliant finished cable.

Is it right for you?

• Suits four-pair Cat7 FTP cable whose conductor and jacket geometry fit this two-piece termination.
• Suits installers and confident home users who already crimp shielded leads; it is not a tool-free or pass-through plug.
• Not a universal fit for every Cat7 or Cat8 cable, and not a female coupler.

Key features

• 10 shielded 8P8C male modular plugs for Cat7 FTP, each with a cable-management clip.
• Metal copper shielded casing.
• 50U gold-plated phosphor-bronze three-prong pins.
• Up to 10 Gbps in a compliant complete link.
• Passive crimp part: no electronics or software.

What else you need

• Compatible crimping pliers, four-pair Cat7 FTP cable and, for a tidy job, boots.
• A cable tester to check the conductor map and link before use.

Installation

Conductors pass through the guide clip, the shield is engaged and the assembly is crimped. UGREEN lists a diameter of up to 1.3 mm without making clear whether it means each insulated conductor, so do a trial termination first. Keep fingers clear of blades and crimp dies and wear eye protection.

Before you buy

• The plug is not suitable without correct shield and strain termination, and it cannot repair split pairs, poor conductors, corrosion or bad device ports.
• A Cat7 label on the plug does not upgrade lower-category cable or the rest of the link.
• Indoor use only: no outdoor rating is established. Keep the plugs dry, clean and away from corrosive environments or excessive heat.
• Test every lead before use; a visual check is not enough. Professional installations may require certification testing.
• Never work on live mains. Network wiring is low voltage, but wall boxes and racks can sit near hazardous circuits.
